DCCC ad full of “half-truths, exaggerations and outright lies”

February 8, 2021

Local Miami news is trashing the DCCC’s ad which falsely smears Maria Elvira Salazar, a journalist who reported from warzones and confronted dictators, as a “coward” and member of QAnon.

Local 10 fact checked the ad writing, “We subjected this ad to our “truth test” and found it full of half-truths, exaggerations and outright lies.”

This comes after multiple outlets blasted the ad as well:

Washington Post Fact Checker: Democratic attack ads misleadingly link swing-district Republicans to QAnon

In several cases, the only supposed qualification for standing with QAnon is voting against Trump’s second impeachment. That’s ridiculous and certainly worthy of Pinocchios.

…[Maria Elvira Salazar] has no known ties to QAnon.

Fact Check: Democrats Launch Ads Falsely Accusing Republicans of Backing QAnon

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) falsely attacked several House Republicans in a series of ads launched Tuesday, claiming that the House GOP members backed the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Fact Check: TV ads from House Dems seek to paint Calif. GOPers as QAnon backers

A small television buy by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee seeks to paint a handful of California Republicans as followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

The truth? Not even close.
